There was indeed a secret pathway.
However, Rosalind did not expect it to be in the fireplace.
She coughed, perhaps for the tenth time since they started crawling in this… tunnel. It was only enough for one small person so, Fraunces had to go in first, then Leonardo who was telling Fraunces where to go, and finally Rosalind. Luckily, both Rosalind and Fraunces had a small frame and Leonardo was still young, thus, he could perfectly fit inside the space.
"To the right," Leonardo said. "Then… that's it."
"That's it?" Fraunces asked. She had been complaining since they started crawling in this… crawl space.
"Straight… we should be there in a second."
"Why is this place so… far away when the entrance was just in the other room?" Fraunces asked.
The entrance was just two rooms away from the Count's room.
"This was not made for a person," Leonardo said. "But my dog."
"Dog?"
"He passed away two years ago."
